Featured And now for the rest of the story- A Muslim boy and his clock

He told why he brought it to school: To impress his teacher. He wants to go to MIT and be an engineer.

They already had decided it wasn't a bomb as the kid kept telling them it was a clock. They didn't take any "it's a bomb" actions. So what purpose would exist for arresting the young man?

You know why it wasn't evacuated. They had already deduced it wasn't a bomb before they arrested him. He kept telling them it was a clock.

You can buy those little kits all over the place. I did something similar with providing kids the boards and circuitry to build their own computer.

So why arrest the kid for a hoax bomb when he's told you it's a clock and that he built it to impress his science teacher?

I think the police and the school administration condemned themselves on this one. The administrators could have investigated a little bit more especially if, IMO, you're the science teacher.

And the police actions just don't make any sense. And in that regard, neither do those of the administrators because if they really feared it was a bomb, then the administrators should have cleared the school before the police even arrived.

We used to get one or two bomb threats a year in high school. the building was always immediately cleared and then the police and fire department would show up to do their sweeps. I personally think someone in my Calculus class was making the calls because they seemed to interrupt exams. :laugh:

 

What's funny is you're the only person I know that can take one sentence and turn it into a complete novel Darrell. :laugh:

Propaganda intended to strike fear in a certain demographic so that some folks can take away some more liberties under the guise of keeping us safe.

Right up there with

 

Hey, you posted it. I just don't see a difference. You and some others in the GOP seem to want to scare folks into thinking that this was something it was not in order to justify the police's behavior.

That's how we got the Patriot Act.

 

Consider this.

If a young man had brought a briefcase into an abortion facility, with contents that looked like, and could function as a bomb, many of those in the press and on certain websites would likely be applauding the authorities for their decisive and prudent actions. You know, to send the message that abortion providers shall not be intimidated.

Or if such a device were found in a mosque...

 

If a lot of things. None of which was the case.

The police response and the school's response were just wrong.

 

"WHY???"

"Because I said so!!" :sleep::sleep::sleep:

 

So you say.
One thing is pretty sure, President Obama would not be talking about the "cool clock" that someone brought into the abortion facility.

 

Especially if that Christian boy carried it into a madrasah.

 

Ask the police chief and the administrators who didn't respond like they were dealing with a bomb.

 

Sure wouldn't be talking about it because little white Christian boys don't get arrested and the cops say "yup, that's who I thought it was."

ISLAMOPHOBIA

 

Oh, well it's in all caps. Must be so!

 

Sounds good to me. Glad you agree.:thumbsup:
